for divorce. One of my teachers found out about this. He made me stay after class and asked if I was okay. He went on saying this must be hard and my mother must be doing this for me and I able to talk to him. Then at the end of his 10 min speech he asked how I was feeling about...

My parents are divorced and have been for many many years. It has never been easy for me to cope with the fact that the two people who made me no longer love one another. But I'v been getting better every day. One of my biggest frustrations though is simply splitting my time...

for what... a couple of days? Anyway, my dad is now dating people. He's out right now. It's 10:36 as I write this, and he's not back yet. "Oh, I wonder what they could possibly be doing at this late hour."
I love my dad, but damn, banging random girls already? :(
My dad makes me...

that surface every now and then, even today. They are the details that repeat in the form of unanswered questions and unexplained actions.
My dad had taken a job 2 hours away at a highschool, mid-year, and only returned home on the weekends. It was between January...

My parents divorced when I was 3 years old. Therefore I don't remember much about us being a family. It even feels weird for me to say mom and dad in the same sentence.
but now Im 17 years old and my dad lives in another country which means I don't really know him that well...

since I was two. to be honest, I'm a bit of a minority because it doesn't bother me at all. It's just.. normal. I'm very grateful that my parents are divorced actually because now I have a loving stepmother and stepfather and three amazimg brothers.
sorry about this...

I'm currently a 14-year old living in a small city hoping to be successful one day and achieve great things that inspire millions out there. I decided for the first time to actually share my story other than just keeping my personal thoughts locked in and secluded from the world...

I've read so many of your stories here and can relate to many. My parents never fought. I thought we were such a happy family. We were always together back in the 60's and 70's, my siblings and I playing together, my mom a sturdy housewife who was always...

I was around 11 years old when my mum and dad got divorced. Of course at that age I didn't really know what was going on. I just remember being in my kitchen and them both talking to me, telling me they weren't going to be together and we were all crying.. That was one of the...

and I don't remember much but what I really remember is my mom yelling at my dad and my dad just leaving. I ran out to my dad but he ignored my screaming and crying for him and left. And we used to have a really big house, but my mom said we were moving due to money. I, as a 5...

I don't remember much of it and it hasn't affected me at all.
There is one brief memory I have of my brother and I playing with a train set on the living room floor and I remember looking over and seeing my mother yelling through gritted teeth at my father and she was mad...

and it honestly has affected my life. my dad will come over once a month to see us but as soon as my mum answer the door it's world war 3 between them both. Constantly arguing. Screaming at each other. my dad is never there for me like a dad should be. He doesn't even know me...

I met some mothers and their kids who were on their way back from getting school reports. 'Mama, I want to go on a picnic!', said one of those kids. His mother said, 'be patient, you will go with daddy tomorrow, right? You'll go swimming and buy books that you like.'
Last day...

and I want them to be happy, but it's not easy to watch my parents date other people. Recently my mom started seeing a man who had a 19 year old son and a bad relationship with his ex and the rest of his family. After less than a month of seeing each other, my mom was allowing...

for over 10 years. I don't understand why they still fight with one another and put me in the middle. I should've just went to visit my father instead of him coming down here, maybe things would be more peaceful…

My parents divorce when I was around two years old. My dad used to beat my mum so I'm glad it ended when it did. My brother still has memories of my mum getting hit and I cant imagine what it must have been like for him. I've made my peace with my dad now and we have a close...

. And after all those years they still have fights by phone .. Its always about money ! Always ! And my dad and my mom they both involve me in their fights .. Like this " son what do you think of your father how that he is doing against me ?" When my mom ask that to me .. I'm...

because they love each other they dont, but they respect each other and feel responsible, my father is a faithful man a real Man loyal to his wife. I'm fortunate to have them . people are so narrow minded when they talk about love and romance, they are great but come on...

Two civilized adults turn barbaric when it comes to divorce. They cheat, they lie, they only think about themselves while the other person was once maybe dear enough to them to spend "forever" with.
Spot the mistakes of my parents in here, one word capitalized in these sentences...

If you had asked me even just a week ago how likely I thought it was that my parents would ever get divorced, I would have told you that it was completely inconceivable to me, it would never happen. They certainly frustrated each other at times, but considering that all they had...

were both done with university. I graduated last year and my brother is in his final year (he was supposed to graduate last year before me but has failed a course again). My father has been abusive for my whole life; I told my mother many times as a child to leave him. I think...

anniversary a week after my 18th birthday so at least there was no custody battle. It's been awkward living in the same house as them. My father doesn't really want the divorce but my mother is bitter because my dad got depressed and when he was depressed he got really mean and...

when I was 8 years old and it was a hard time for us all :(
But throughout that time , and the years since , they put us first :)
Both are now in different relationships and I'm happy for them :) life is too short for petty squabling and silly differences. I love them both...

I am 21 years old and my parents have been split up since I was 3. They both fought for joint custody and it was split 51/49 to my mom. My entire life I have had the most hectic living schedule where I would almost got back and fourth between my mom and dads house everyday...

and my three years younger sister the were going to seperate. I have never cried more than I did that day. But I am kind of glad they told me. Until then I had thought it was normal for adults to close the door when they were had an argument or when the raised their voices...

and my parents have been divorced for as long as i can remember, so i'm used to going back and forth between them. i have ALWAYS preferred my mom more than my dad, such as always missing my mom when i am there, but i have never once missed my dad-EVER. I know it sounds cold...

and i feel like my whole life has been torn apart. Before they split up, my dad lost his job, and we were in really bad debt, my
Mom took me out of school to be homeschooled.
I still am.
It's almost like they don't even care about me anymore, and it really hurts.

I never realized how coming from a divorced home would effect me. I am now almost 29 years old, and my parents divorced when I was 6. I didn't start noticing the long-lasting impact until much later on.
I don't remember much at all. But I have a few...

and I can say for sure that's one of the best things that has ever happened in my family. Right now they act like best friends - go to cinema together, talk for hours etc. Not a single argument has happened compared to how they used to argue every two days. When they got...

wasn't meant to be. Of course I love being alive, but I wish they hadn't stayed together so they could be someplace better in their lives, you know? But now, my dad is thinking of moving in with his girlfriend and getting married. And my sister is freaking out. I guess I just...

make a marriage work. Now I know this sounds the opposite of what most children of divorce say but this is how I feel. Yes,divorce was a traumatizing thing for me and I wish my parents were married,but because of their divorce I am stronger and more willing to put in the effort...
